Head teachers of Public Primary schools in Limbe II have received didactic materials for proper take-off of the School Year.
The donations according the Mayor of Limbe II, Mayor Duncan Molindo, is in line with government policy through the Minimum Package Programme to the Ministry of Basic Education.
In a brief ceremony, Mayor, told the Head Teachers that the government prioritized education and intends to make education available to all Cameroonians especially from the rural areas.

According to the mayor, one Council will continue its best in the noble task of educating tomorrow’s leaders. He cautioned the head teachers to be diligent and use the materials for the right purpose to ensure efficiency and positive results.
After handing over the package comprising of books, chalk, cardboards and other school materials, the Head Teachers said they were very happy with the gesture of the Council.
The Inspector of Basic Education on her part said it is confirmed that local councils can carry out their functions in a decentralized system. She also promised that the books and materials will not end up in the houses of teachers; rather they will be made available in the classrooms for the students.
